Stop telling Bristol Palin to shut up! As long as she has a ghostwriter putting words in her mouth she doesn't have to!!!!!!!!

This is the actual picture that Bristol.Nancy/Sarah chose for this post. I'm not mocking.

Everyone’s telling me to shut up about commenting on the issue in Washington State… Do they not realize what is going on? (I'm going to say "yes" here.)

You have to get a parents approval to take aspirin or ibuprofen at school, you have to have your parents present to go tanning in a tanning bed, or get your eye brows waxed, or get your belly button or ears pierced. But girls as young as 10 – YES I SAID 10 – can get an IUD put in without their parents knowing??????? 

How is that NOT black and white to people? (Uh..because it's NOT black and white?)


I know I’m the last to talk about birth control. (Two baby daddies right? LOLZ!)

(She said it, not me.)

But I am expecting a girl and do have a 14 year old sister and I would be so concerned for her going into a clinic and having something pretty serious put into her body. (I told you it was a girl.)

I’m not against birth control by ANY MEANS so do not twist my words. But I am against the government going between a parent and a child at such a young age. THERE IS A BIG DAMN DIFFERENCE. 10-11-12 year olds don’t know what’s best for them. 

Their parents do. 

(Yes but these IUDs are implanted with a surgical procedure, which requires a doctor. And surely even Bristol Palin recognizes that doctors are perfectly capable of telling their patients what is good or not good for them.)

So anyone who’s saying I have “no place to talk” .. Let’s look at the issue – the important part of this entire blog post – why I brought it to your attention. 

WE as parents know what’s best for our young daughters – NOT the government. (For clarifications sake the "government" is NOT placing IUDs in the bodies of little girls. Doctors do that. And just for a moment imagine the likelihood of a ten year old girl transporting herself to a clinic in order to get an IUD all on her own. More than likely if any ten year olds have received these, they did so with their parents fully aware.)


Okay now I am not at this point certain whether Nancy French has been channeling Bristol so long that she is now typing like a barely educated Wasillabilly or if in fact Brislt wrote all or part of this.

I will let you decide. 

However it is worth noting that whoever is the driving force behind these posts, and it could very well be Sarah herself, they are becoming increasingly defensive and combative.

Which makes it seem that somebody, or perhaps a couple of somebodies, are on the verge of a complete, and very public, breakdown. 

Well I've got my popcorn.

Colorado's teen birth rate drops 40% after they decided to offer free birth control. Go figure.

Courtesy of CNN:

Colorado's teen birth rate dropped 40% between 2009 and 2013, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment announced this week, in part due to a program that provides long-acting contraception to low-income women. 

Colorado's Family Planning Initiative provided funding for 68 family clinics across the state to offer around 30,000 intrauterine devices and implants to young women at low or no cost. An IUD is a small T-shaped device that is inserted into the uterus by a doctor. They're either wrapped in copper or contain hormones, which kill sperm and make the uterine lining too thin for egg implantation. Because IUDs stay in place for five to 10 years, they're easier to comply with than taking daily birth control pills. 

An anonymous donor funded the $23 million initiative, which also provided training, outreach and technical assistance to clinics statewide. 

The state health department conducted a study, to be published in the fall issue of Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health, to analyze the program's impact. It found that the low-cost IUDs were a significant factor in the state's overall decrease in teen births.

According to the study the number of women choosing IUD's for their contraception needs, quadrupled, and Colorado went from being ranked 29th lowest in the teen birth rate, to being ranked the 19th lowest.

What's more the 75% of the decline was attributed to the clinics offering access to the free or low cost birth control.

Wait, are we to believe that offering teenagers a safe effective means of birth control works better than simply slut shaming young girls and telling them that they are sinners for having normal biological feelings?

Hmm, now where did I get the idea that only abstinence was the right way to deal with teen sex?

Hang on, it will come to me.
